4 digit codes are obviously easy to crack. That's a pathetically low number of combinations.

- matthewmacleod 7y agoThis isn’t really obvious. While there are clearly a limited number of codes with four digits, the idea is that the Secure Enclave can throttle and limit cracking attempts to the point that an attack would be infeasible.
- jackson1way 7y agoJust checked. The default passcode on my iPhone 8 is a 6 digit numeric code, not 4. although you can switch to 4 it seems. Even 4 digits could be enough, given that iOS enforces (very long) delays after a few failed attempts.
